Thank you for the well written note and tactful input. You are correct.

We did have some quality issues with the AM Planetary gearbox this year, and this product will improve for 2007. Mark and I need to upgrade this design to make it more reliable. There are some simple things for us to do that are simple (relief the gears on top and bottom to eliminate plate contact), and some more expensive (new bearings, better polished shaft). We will definitely make the gears spin more freely, but we will investigate new bearings without committing to a change.
